engineguy63 238 #1 Posted May 8, 2023 NEW TOY ! Recent purchase of a very original and early 58RJ. Its gonna stay in its work clothes......probably wont even get washed. It is wearing its original tires the rears are in good shape, the front has one good and one shot. Would like to find a decent used BF Goodrich silvertown tire, The one i need is a EXPRESS, (writen over the tire size) Runs great just waiting on a new engine pulley and belt . 1 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutdoorEnvy 1,730 #2 Posted May 8, 2023 Killer find! I like the original patina look but would be in favor of a thorough washing myself. That's neat the original tires are still on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandyLittrell 3,894 #4 Posted May 8, 2023 Awesome find!! Don't be surprised if Pete comes along soon and extols the virtue of wiping down with a penetrant to preserve the finish!! With a cleaning and wipe down with penetrant and paint the wheels, it would look amazing!!! Randy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
engineguy63 238 #5 Posted May 9, 2023 Many Thanks, May just do the wipe down and clean up bit.......eventually, there looks to be a good amount of paint under the grease on the wheels, probly flip axles around and put in new seals at some point BUT, Really neeed to find a tire that matches my good front one ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
